Because of you, our TV crew was able to produce the seventh season of
Curious Crew remotely and safely, and continued to provide weekly programs of
Off the Record. With your support the WKAR news team was able to report the local, state and national coverage of the election and the pandemic. Your generosity allowed us to prevail and reach the unattainable. To commemorate all that you made possible this past year, join us in watching, below,
